Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 69 - 66: Horror Hospital 33 (Bonus)

Rob saw the first clue she pointed out: "Is there a problem with this?"

Josh frowned: "Don’t you think this clue is very strange?"

Rob blinked his pretty big eyes in confusion: "What’s so strange about it? I think this is the most normal thing, right? Establishing a hospital and admitting patients."

Josh looked at him: "Our whole investigation started around the hospital. But think about it. Why did such a large number of patients flood in as soon as a hospital was established? And the hospital manual says that these patients all came in to treat the same disease."

Rob still didn’t understand: "Is there a problem?"

Josh’s expression was calm: "Something must have happened in the world outside the hospital."

Rob tried to put on an enlightened expression, trying to make himself look smarter.

Josh: "... What I mean is, our main quest is to promote peace between humans and cats, and the fact that this hospital immediately absorbed a large number of humans suggests that humans outside might be suffering from some kind of disease. This could be a double plotline."

Rob’s eyes lit up: "You mean one line is inside the hospital and the other is in the outside human world?"

Josh nodded: "Yes. It’s because we’ve been circling around inside the hospital that the main plot is progressing so slowly."

Rob looked at her: "So we need to leave the hospital?"

Josh thought for a moment: "Before leaving, we at least need to have some contact with the director."

Rob silently looked at her.

Josh sighed and explained bluntly: "At the very least, we need to figure out why I was shouting ’Dad’ while chasing you guys when I was unconscious. This could very well be one of the important clues. It can’t just be a system bug causing this body to glitch, right?"

Rob thought about it and nodded: "That’s true!"

He couldn’t help but frown: "But didn’t you say that people outside might be infected with some kind of disease? If we leave the hospital, won’t there be a risk of getting infected?"

"Of course." An old man sitting beside them spoke up without anyone knowing when he arrived.

Josh frowned slightly, alertly looking at the old man beside them.

The old man looked very kind, around sixty or seventy years old, with white hair and a beard, wearing a white coat.

In the hospital, there were even humans wearing lab coats?

The old man amiably looked at Josh: "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’ll harm you?"

Josh shook her head.

Rob couldn’t help but ask: "Grandpa, you just said that leaving the hospital could very likely result in virus infection?"

The old man nodded: "Yes. This hospital is the only safe place left. If you leave here, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to keep your lives. There are germs in the air outside."

Josh looked at him without any change in expression: "Are you a doctor? Or a patient?"

The old man chuckled and looked at her: "Why are you being so cautious? An old man like me couldn’t possibly eat you, could he?"

Josh pursed her lips and forced a smile: "Not necessarily."

The old man also smiled and turned to the food window: "I’d like a serving of boiled fish."

Chef Li looked at him with an initially impatient expression that immediately became respectful: "Alright! Please wait!"

Josh, without any change in expression, fiddled with the three buttons in her hand before casually tossing them onto the table.

Both Rob and the old man’s eyes followed the motion.

Josh picked up the buttons again and tossed them down, the buttons making a crisp sound as they knocked against the table.

Feigning boredom, she played with the buttons.

The old man looked at her kindly: "You two seem like strangers. Are you new arrivals at the hospital?"

Josh nodded: "Yes."

While responding, she recalled the results of the recent divination.

Half and half, the outcome was unpredictable.

No clear fortune or misfortune sometimes means both could be present.

This old man was no ordinary person.

Chef Li brought the fish over, cast an unexpected glance at Josh and Rob, then quickly withdrew.

Josh glanced at the so-called boiled fish, which was just fish slices boiled in plain water.

The old man smiled and pushed the fish towards her: "If you’re hungry, you can have this."

Josh shook her head: "No, you eat it yourself."

The old man didn’t insist further.

Rob swallowed hard: "I’m hungry, could you spare me some?"

Josh’s mouth twitched slightly.

The old man chuckled and lowered his eyes to hide his inner thoughts: "You can go ask for a serving at the window. I’ve eaten this one, and young people like you might find it unappealing."

Rob looked at the stark difference in attitude and couldn’t help but feel indignant. Could it be that he wasn’t as likeable to the old man as Josh was?

The old man suddenly seemed to choke and began coughing violently.

Josh frowned slightly and moved to support him, patting his back: "Are you okay?"

The old man shook his head, but the coughing didn’t stop.

Josh looked at the old man’s hand clasped with hers, her eyes twitching with suspicion.

After he finished eating, the old man glanced at Josh: "The human world is very dangerous, young person, you must protect yourself."

Josh nodded: "Thank you."

The old man’s figure disappeared inside the cafeteria.

"Let’s go." Josh looked towards Rob, but saw him take out a mirror, anxiously examining his face.

Rob looked at her with speechless frustration: "Why was that old man’s attitude towards you so different from his attitude towards me? Do I not look as good as you?"

Josh took his mirror, looked at her own face, and then seriously compared it with Rob’s face, coming to a conclusion: "I do look a bit better than you."

Rob pouted in grievance: "If you keep bullying me, I’ll really cry."

Josh sincerely smiled: "I love making men cry the most."

Barrage: [What the heck kind of words are those!]

[Little Rob’s identity is recognized as female, if Josh weren’t a minor, I’d definitely report you for skirting the boundaries!]

[Why can Josh say such misleading things with such sincerity? Does she really not understand, or was she purposely trying to flirt with Little Meng Shooter?]

[How could a proper girl say this kind of misleading thing to a boy? I also feel like it was deliberate!]

[Are you guys serious? Don’t forget, she’s still a minor.]

[What’s the problem with being a minor? Nowadays, kids mature early!]

[What I mean is, minors on Garbage Star don’t have access to schooling, and in such a desolate place, it’s rare to see a living person in years. Are you sure she understands innuendo?]

[Silent contemplation.jpg]

Rob reluctantly put away his small mirror: "So what do we do now? Are we going to wait for the director like sitting ducks?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Josh smirked: "We’ve already met him."

"When..." Rob started to speak but then realized: "You mean that old man just now?"

Josh nodded: "Yes."

Rob looked bewildered: "How do you know he’s the director? Isn’t he a human? Jiang Can said the director has the face of a ragdoll cat."
